What? You thought I was about to launch into a lecture?
Nah. The ten second variety, maybe.

Okay, so this is all about… er, characterization.

Look at Bet’s face – doesn’t that tell you everything you’d ever need to know about a rainy day?

We have some really special neighbours – Hi, David and Anita! – who love to take Bet out for walks on sunny days. (How spoiled can one dog be?) Guess you won’t be going out for your extra walks today, Bets.

It might be a cliche but settings set the mood for books.
Let your scene wear the setting like a costume, Bob McKee recommends -

Hear! Hear! Say I.

Wishing you only sunshine in your life today
Or a sexy sheikh
